Am      Em
Come on in
        G           Dm
Take a seat next to me
Am           
You know we got
Em               G         Dm
We got what you need
Am         Em     G            Dm
We may be liars preaching to choirs
    Am
But we can
Em              G          Dm
We can sell your dreams

Am              Em
You don't need sympathy
    G                Dm
They got a pill for everything
Am              Em
Just take that dark cloud
G               Dm
Ring it out to wash it down, but

Am        Em
Don't pray for us
G                 C
We don't need no modern Jesus
Am           Em
To roll with us
G             C  
The only rule we need is never
Am      Em
Giving up
G                   C               Am
The only faith we have is faith in us

Am         Em        G          Dm
We're the ones who start little fires
Am             Em
Yet they burn out
G
But when they're on the rise
Dm
They can't help but shine


Am            Em
And when the wave approaches
G               Dm
Take our ashes to the ocean
Am            Em
Who cares if hell awaits?
G                     Dm
We're having drinks at heaven's gate

Am        Em
Don't pray for us
G                 C
We don't need no modern Jesus
Am           Em
To roll with us
G             C  
The only rule we need is never
Am      Em
Giving up
G                   C               Am
The only faith we have is faith in us


Am            Em
We know that we're helpless
G                Dm
At least we always assume
Am                  Em                 G               Dm
But we don't need to prove nothing to you
Am              Em
Let's keep the cool
G                     Dm
You don't need to feel blue
Am                     Em
Cause we won't sell you nothing
G         Dm
You can't use


Am        Em
Don't pray for us
G                 C
We don't need no modern Jesus
Am           Em
To roll with us
G             C  
The only rule we need is never
Am      Em
Giving up
G                   C               Am
The only faith we have is faith in us
